Gurnisson is good. But if they don't give you a ballista, you're done, pack your bags.
Do you think that if Crag Hack comes with just one stack of goblins, it will be 200% easier for him?

While you're upgrading your wolves, your opponent will already come to you. The Chinese play with a double upgrade, but I don't remember what they start with. It's not profitable to use a Tyrannosaur, as it will only summon a few wolves, and then what? In my opinion, for 160% it's definitely Craig Hack. For 200% - Gurnisson.
"Thank you so much," I didn't lose in the novice semi-final. You advised me to use a Tyrannosaur! Happiness exists, and it can't not exist!)))
I was asking seriously.

I'm just curious, do they always give the "Tent" artifact to specialists, for example? (I don't remember ever seeing it not given).

Cragg, Gurnisson, and even Gundula with Tyrax look quite good, at 160%. The choice depends on various factors (skill level, understanding of strengths and weaknesses, and even the opponent and the overall game plan; in serious games, you have to think about all of this). Regarding templates, my preferences are:
Balance - only Tyrax. Panic - Gundula, Cragg, Gurnisson. 2cm4d3, Gurn and Cragg are approximately equal, but for different game tactics. 8mm6a, 6lm10a - Cragg, Gundula, Gurnisson. Jebus - Cragg, Tyrax. Players who level up their main hero on the Jebus template usually focus on wisdom, and they are not very strong players. As with artillery, it usually only occupies the slot needed for something else.

And in what situations does it make sense to use Ogres? Or can we just forget about them?

If you have enough resources, always build it. If you have a couple of good locations (2+), then, in my opinion, you can skip the bear cave and instead build a Stronghold/Castle with a market that allows you to buy 30+ Ogres and upgrade them to level 121.

Thanks, I didn't think about external hiding places. And another question: what determines the appearance of a ready-made wolf pen in the starting Castle? Or is it just random?

and not just wolves, but also second-level creatures in general – it’s all random.

I like this Castle. Not because I play best with it (quite the opposite) – I just like the idea of the Barbarians. And the visual design too. As for tactics, I haven't come up with anything original – in the first week, I place creatures in the Castle (it works almost every time). On S and M, that's quite enough. On L and XL, I try to place Cyclops no later than the 3rd week, which (together with Orcs and Ogres) I keep for the "final and decisive" battle. And they often play a crucial role in it.

If you remove the weak goblins, wolves, and orcs, then the faction is quite decent. Considering the weakness of the first three tiers, they could have made Cyclops cheaper, and the unupgraded monster is weak, with only 17 attack and defense. Also, the Rukh are weak, and the Ogres are slow. This faction is for those who have a passion for war.

The Grey Wolf – if used wisely, it's very good in attack (not so much in defense). The only downside is that you have to upgrade the goblins first.

but still, the race isn't that great. Take the Orcish Warlords, their stats are very low. If the Orcs could attack twice, then yes, but as it is, besides Ogres, Demons, and Rukh, there's no one else to play with. And if you want to use someone for melee combat, you know that meat costs money, and where do you get it if you start with nothing?

The question of Ogres has already been partially discussed, but there are some unclear points: 1. If there is a single Ogre dwelling near the castle, and there are not enough resources to build Bears + a castle, does it make sense to ignore the Bears and build Ogres in the castle instead? After all, it is much easier to upgrade them than Bears, and the power increase is very significant. 2. How should one approach the Ogre specialist? Is it worth investing in him if you decide to focus on Ogres? Or would Kreg Hex be more useful even then? 3. It has been repeatedly mentioned that Bears in the castle can be placed without problems in the first week. I suspect this is due to the presence of Necropolises and Dwarven Mines? But what if, besides a weak Imp town worth 2000 gold and a couple of chests within a three-turn radius, there is nothing else?

2. How should one treat a specialist in Ogres? Is it worth respecting him if he switches to Ogres? Or would Craig Heck be more useful even then?

It doesn't matter. As long as Craig Heck and Gurnisson are alive, no Ogre specialists are needed. This is just a random start, and nothing better came up.

...It has been repeatedly mentioned here that bears can be placed in the castle without any problems during the first week. I suspect this is due to the presence of Necropolises and Dwarven Mines? But what if, besides a dead Imp worth 2000 gold and a couple of chests within a radius of three hexes, there is nothing else?
I suspect that the opponent will be in a similar situation in this case. I think you need to choose a development strategy based on the specific situation, and not the one that is generally considered the best. One bear today might be more useful than 8 Ogres tomorrow.
